In My young days when I was like 2yr old I will never forget this my father walked out on me. He would always argue with my mom and keep leaving and coming back. My mom would be getting abused until she couldn't take it no more she was a strong women and still is she fought back. He left one day and he came back trying to apologize but my mom didn't want him to disrupt our peace. One thing my mom didn't say is that he couldn't visit his four boys he took it upon himself to miss out on his children's growth and achievements now he visits every 10yrs and he still is the same way. But, I'm the lucky one I have a great step father who care about me and my brothers and my mom he explain to us from right to wrongs and he is a comedian he even taught me how to play piano and sing and he is visually impaired which means he is totally blind which is cool because I have a father/friend/family that can play instruments and he can't see.
My Step father and I are so close now I call him My father now and I even forget my old man back then I even call him my ancestor but now when I think about My old man I start to get lost in the pain and suffering my ancestor put me through and it get between my grades. I made a commitment that when I have a wife I will treat her with honor and respect and I will never ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever put my hands on her.

What a beautifully honest post EMcNeil. Thank you for being so brave and sharing it. Your ancestor really has missed out. You are a wonderfully talented, intelligent, and thoughtful young man. I've never met anyone quite like you. I have no doubt when you grow up to be a father your son will write a blog post about how lucky he is.
Manny,
What a beautiful, deep feeling, real post. I've often been impressed with the love that you and your step dad share. You are a special person and it is going to be a pleasure to see what you do with your life.
